Alex Pereira Mocks Magomed Ankalaev: 'Nobody Even Knows He is the Champion'
Briefly

Alex Pereira announced his potential return to the UFC, aiming for a fight in the fall of 2025 after relinquishing the 205-pound title to Magomed Ankalaev earlier this year. While resting his body, Pereira shared that he plans to resume training soon before competing again. He responded to Ankalaev's remarks hinting at retirement, highlighting the latter's need for attention by invoking Pereira's name to promote himself. Pereira's focus remains on his next fight, anticipated to take place in September, October, or November.
"People are used to seeing me fighting all the time. Now I'm resting my body a little. The next fight should be in October. September, October or November."
"He has to promote himself a little by saying my name, because nobody even knows that he is the champion and, when he says my name, it comes up a little."
